'R Xmas is a 2001 American crime film directed by Abel Ferrara. It was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival.[1] Its U.S. release was delayed by StudioCanal's difficulty in finding a domestic distributor[2] and internal financial troubles.[3] It eventually received a small theatrical release in November 2002 from Pathfinder Pictures before being released on DVD shortly after by Artisan Entertainment.[4] In 2022, the film was released on Blu-Ray by Shout! Factory.
